I have a buddy (non-turkey hunter) who can mimic a hen call, using a double-barreled bar drink straw...it's almost uncanny. I've tried to get the hang of this, but not much luck so far. Just curious...has anyone ever seen/heard this before..or better yet, called a bird in with a straw? I think it would be a blast to do this once, if even just for the novelty aspect.

I have heard of it . It doesn't surprise me . It is the same principle as the wingbone, rivercane yelpers and the trumpets . Can't speak for everyone but the trumpet is by far the easiest to get good sound and more of the turkey vocabulary .

Ya can do it w/o the straw too. Just close your pointer finget and thumb to form a very small(straw sized) opening and suck/smack/kiss (hard to describe easier to show, you are drawing air in not blowing out) on the opening. cup our other hand around to create a hollow area for volume.
